First sentence "Data that includes location information (coordinates)..." is a little complex, could be simplified to “Data that includes coordinate information…”.

"Geospatial data types include vector data, such as Shapefile, GeoJSON, and GeoPackage, and raster data, such as GeoTIFFs, grid files, and georeferenced maps.". This is awkward wording and technically incorrect. A georefernced map is not a raster file format like the others and will almost always be a GeoTIFF. We may need to change the wording here and in the "Maps" description to better explain where georeferenced maps fit into the collection.
